Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian Playgrounders!

By the way, do you guys celebrate it with a turkey dinner or do you do something different? Just curious.

Dragon, imma stab you.

And yes, it's a family turkey dinner. Except for me; I decided to work for an American company. So the rest of the family is likely on pie by now.

To any UK (or really anyone) guys/gals who don't have access to pumpkin pie... Neener neener neeeeener!

Same goes for pecan pie!

Come on, man. I'm all for taking other people's misfortune and rubbing it in, but this is going too far. Pie is serious business.

Joyeux action de grace tout le monde! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

For Thanksgiving I'm going to be (hopefully) celebrating it with my parents and also be celebrating their one year anniversary. What should I get them for their paper anniversary?

I was thinking of no thanksgiving. We don't have thanksgiving here. We don't care. We never had random pilgrims slaughter natives and share their food with them afterwards.

Orly? Me? Young?

Unless I'm mistaken I'm voting on Tuesday so I ain't that young.

What was your suggestion for a present for my mom and step-father?

That I did. 'Twere my own fault for that assumption. I do consider my step-father as my father though (as we have similar personalities and humour).

Ya, I'm stumped. I just don't want to leave at "Happy Anniversary! Here's your card!" That would be... lame...

... I wonder if I have any crayons...

Hmm...

What about a print webcomic? Girl Genius is pretty accessible, and hilarious.

Or, more grounded, a trio of A-list books. Three, so that each can pick one, and if one finishes fast, he or she can go to the extra one.

Maybe get a family portrait reframed, then hand them a toonie and claim you only bought the "paper" (the picture), from them.

Things made of paper:
Books. Books are good.
Fans. A nice decorative Chinese or Japanese fan.
Money is made of paper. So are cheques.
An unframed painting, or print is made of paper.
Photographs are printed on (special) paper. How about an enlargement of a lovely photo you've taken of them?

Edit: I see afroakuma and I are thinking along similar lines.

Origami kit? An ornament made from papier mache? (You could make it yourself and save money.)
